Joe was a quiet ardent student of mine for over 8yrs. As members of Burge we had a great time shooting together. He wanted to learn all about the approach to the art form of instinctive shooting. He was a patient soul and learned well! Rest in peace Joe!

Joe was a good man. He was a veteran and a patriot. And officer in the Army infantry--a paratrooper. His service to his country was in Korea.
